difference's between Cupra R and FR?

[SalSheikh]

Hi Guys,

on the way to work I saw what I thought was a Cupra R only to realise it was an FR when I drove past it in traffic. It had the Cupra R front bumper on, so what are the differences?

Thanks

Chances are (if it was an 05 plate or later), it was an FR+. As far as I know, these were diesels with a Cupra R kit on them but 17" versions of the R's 18" wheels. If it did happen to be a petrol, it will be a 180bhp 1.8T. If it was an earlier model, then it's likely that the owner has modified it themselves, then god only knows what car it may have started out as.

The FR is faster than a Cupra R. The "F" denotes a humourous "Fu-c-k-i-ng" in front of the "R" which means "Rapid". It has a slightly different meaning in Spain. But the translation brings about the same meaning.

The FR replaced the R as the king dong of on the leon range essentially.

Yes,

Aww guysss. Don't be like that. You were supposed to play along!

 

[SalSheikh]

phew, i thought you guys were being a bit harsh on Number86 until I realised he was trying to play me!

deffo looked like a petrol version to me - didnt smoke when pulling away or anything. it was driven by a lady in a nice black colour. I gave her way at a junction just so i could get a good look at the car.
Anybody know of anyone in Nuneaton with one of these?

 

[Number86]

They were being harsh on me. I don't think any here understands sarcasm. Too high brow

Good luck finding who it was. There's a fair few FR+'s around!

Always felt a bit cheated, it being such a rip of the LCR.

Wasn't it Oscar Wilde who said that Sarcasm was the lowest form of wit?

I'm guessing it was SEAT's attempt to entice people into buying the later/lower specced versions of the Leon before releasing the Mk2

 

[Number86]

But wit is the highest form of intelligence!

 

[J0N]

Sarcasm is the rhetorical device of using a characterization of something or someone in order to express contempt. So it's doubtful sarcasm and therefore contempt was something SalSheikh was looking for in his original post.

Ooookkkk.

But it's funnier than saying "use the search button".

Jeeze.

Now that I'd whole heartedly agree with.
